Sorry for missing general knowledge of what you mean by "benchmarks
game".  According to Google, it is probably what I know as the
language shootout (shootout.alioth.debian.org).  Is it the case?

Assuming it is, then my position is pretty much the same as William
Leslie: I have little interest if the benchmarks that PyPy runs with
are written in completely non-idiomatic ways, super hand-optimized for
CPython, for the reasons explained in detail by William.  It would be
interesting, however, if you accept versions rewritten in "just plain
Python".


A bientôt,

Armin.
